"I'd be far more worried about smallpox, an easily created virus that has few people immunized these days."

Yea, about that. People who have contracted chickenpox or cowpox are pretty much half-immune to smallpox in the first place. Uh, classic Edward Jenner case, in fact; did you even pay attention in high school?

"This is mozilla... not any company..."

You're right. Not any company gets security-shafted every fucking week because of their bullshit week cycle. Only Mozilla does. I've dealt with more secure implementations of IE6 than your most recent version of Firefox.

So shut the fuck up because you've got zero programming skills proven to show your issues.

"Found 3 spots that felt just right, drilled the first, and found water at 70 feet."

Protip: Once you go past about 40 feet you're firmly in water-storing territory. Just about anyone drilling that far will find water underneath if you're anywhere near an area that has flood plains, aquifers, and such in the area.

"If it is not possible to repair the fault then the option of replace or refund is available"

In the case Opportunist is talking about, it would be almost impossible to not repair, unless the PCB or traces had damage. Running them to failure just means a quick component reflow/replacement, which is fairly cheap and almost easy enough to automate testing and repair thereof.
